Show HN: Kindness Engine a JavaScript snippet that adds kindness to websites

https://kindness-engine.vercel.app/
1•AmarRv•2h ago
Hi HN,

I built this as a small side project after noticing how transactional most websites feel—popups, metrics, conversion funnels everywhere.

Kindness Engine is a tiny JavaScript snippet that lets a website show a short, kind message (e.g. “Glad you’re here ”) once per visit. It appears after a brief delay, fades out, and stays out of the way.

There’s no tracking, no cookies, and no analytics. If it can’t run for any reason, it quietly does nothing.

This wasn’t built to optimize anything—just to see if small, non-intrusive moments can make the web feel a bit more human.

Would appreciate any thoughts or feedback.
